Dr. Brian Short

“I am also an Associate Professor of Medicine at UNC, where I teach outpatient medicine to third-year medical students.”

“I have always wanted to become a physician. In second grade, I had an assignment to draw what occupation I wanted to be when I grew up. I drew an “ambulance driver” and that picture is hanging in my office!”

“My favorite hobbies revolve around music. I play drums and tinker with the piano. I especially love to listen to rock and jazz, and my absolute favorite band is Rush. When I was younger, there were a few times when I dreamed of becoming a famous drummer – but I decided to keep that as a hobby.”

“Raleigh is my hometown, and I love spending time with my family on weekends, and because my extended family is local, we get together often. My wife and I have one daughter, Caroline, who loves to go to the Marbles museum.”

Interesting facts:

“I was a top swimmer in the state when I was twelve, representing North Carolina at the Regionals, competing against the top swimmers in the southeast. I “retired” at the tender age of thirteen, eventually becoming a part-time swim coach in high school and college.”
